This dream was quite long.
I dreamt I was taking the bus to work. When the bus arrived, I saw two older women running towards it, so I ran too. Just as they were almost there, the bus suddenly drove off. I thought that was so rude since we were so close!
Another bus came soon after, but it stopped only briefly before taking off again. I was frustrated with these drivers and wanted to report them; they should have waited for us!
Eventually, another bus arrived, but it wasn’t the one I needed. Then finally, the right bus showed up, and I got on.
Outside, it turned into a stormy downpour, almost like a typhoon. I thought, “Wow, it’s really pouring!” Inside, I noticed a single plastic stool in the standing area, which felt a bit odd. I went over to sit, feeling somewhat awkward, and folded up my umbrella.
The bus then reached the intersection at Dunhua North Road and Nanjing East Road, near the Breeze Center, and stopped for a red light. I thought, “My office is nearby!” Just then, someone asked the driver if they could get off, so I quickly followed, figuring I could save a part of my fare by walking one stop.
I walked through the storm, passing many fallen trees. At the office, I found a bag on my desk. I thought, “This wasn’t here when I left yesterday!”
I opened it to find someone had left me a bag of documents, some stationery, and a fat French baguette, which I started eating.
The company’s “green tea girl” (someone who pretends to be nice but isn’t) was the new assistant. She looked a bit like the new assistant in *Emily in Paris*. I was assigned to train her, but she had that “green tea” attitude, so I didn’t want to teach her too much.
As I ate my baguette, I noticed she had one too, a long, thin one. She mentioned that a colleague had made too many baguettes and brought them for everyone. Anyway, my thick baguette was pretty good.
The company was offering a trip across 22 European countries as a sales reward, and I qualified, so I was thrilled. The secretary in the Singapore office was handling our visas. Everyone else got express visas, but for some reason, only I and two others received regular visas. I thought, “I need to contact the Singapore secretary to speed this up, or I’ll have to use regular lines for all 22 countries!”
In the office, I needed to use the restroom, so I went to a small room where several colleagues sat in a cramped arrangement. Inside was a small office with a restroom. I squeezed through a gap to get in.
The restroom was on a raised platform, but when I went in, I realized it was only semi-private, with half-height walls around the toilet. I thought, “Anyone can see who’s using it!” I almost decided not to use it, but a colleague said, “It’s fine, go ahead!”
The toilet was stainless steel, and as soon as I sat down, it started tilting and spinning in all directions.
I thought, “This is so embarrassing!” I tried to cover my face with my hands, but for some reason, I had a bar of soap in one hand, which made it hard to shield my face.
After I was done, I dropped the soap, which slid onto the floor and out of the room. I kept trying to pick it up, but it kept slipping away, which was so embarrassing!
Back at my desk, I noticed an Indian woman sitting nearby, dressed in a business suit. She was part of our small team and joined us for a video call with the Singapore secretary. She left a strong impression on me.
這個夢有點長。
夢見我要坐公車去上班。公車來了，我看到前面有兩個阿姨跑向公車，我也跟著跑。當阿姨快要跑到時，沒想到公車就突然開走。我覺得很惡劣耶！因為我們都快跑到了。
後來又來了一部公車，也是微稍停了一下，然後又馬上開走。我覺得這些司機很惡劣，我要檢舉，因為他們應該要等我們啊！
後來又來了一部公車，但不是我要搭的車。再來了一部公車，這次對了，我就上車了。
此時車外變成狂風暴雨，像是颱風雨。我想說雨好大喔！上了公車，我看到公車站立區，有一張塑膠板凳。有點奇怪，就是單獨一張椅子。我過去坐，感覺有些尷尬。總之我坐下來，順便整理雨傘，把它折起來。
然後公車來到敦化北路和南京東路微風百貨路口，停下來等紅燈。我想說辦公室在這附近耶！剛好有人問：「司機先生，我可以下車嗎？」司機一開門，我趕快跟著下車，想說這樣子我只要走一站，可以省一段票。
我走在路上，仍是狂風暴雨。很多路樹都倒了。來到辦公室，看到座位上有一袋的東西，心想：昨天下班的時候，沒有這東西啊！
打開來看，不知道誰幫我收了一袋文件、文具，還有一個胖胖的法國麵包，我就拿起來吃。
公司 "綠茶婊" 新助理走過來，她看來有點像是《艾蜜莉在巴黎》影集那個新來的助理。我被指派要教她，可是她又有點綠茶婊耍賤。總之我要教她，但又不想教太多。
我一邊吃麵包，一邊跟她講事情。然後我發現她也有個法國麵包，是長條型的那種。她說好像是有個同事做了太多麵包，所以帶來公司分給大家吃。總之，我覺得我的胖法國麵包還蠻好吃的。
公司獎勵業務要辦歐洲 22 個國家旅遊，我業績做到了，可以參與，很開心。新加坡分公司的秘書在幫我們這些業務辦簽證。其他業務的快速通關簽證都拿到了，不知道為什麼，我跟其他兩個業務只拿到一般簽證。我心想待會我要跟新加坡的秘書聯絡，催一下進度。不然 22 國都只能走一般通關，太花時間了。
然後在辦公室裡，大家都在辦公。我想上廁所，不知道為什麼，我就跑到一個小房間，那裡有很多同事，座位安排很擁擠。裡面又有一間小辦公室，那邊有個洗手間。我硬是擠過一個縫隙，才能進入這個小辦公室去上廁所。
這廁所位置較高，我走上去，就發現：「怎麼是半公開的廁所？」就是圍住馬桶的牆只有半截，也就是說：「大家都可以看到是誰在上廁所。」我本來想說那我不要上了，可是同事跟我說：「沒關係，你上啊！」
它是不鏽鋼製的馬桶。我坐在上面，從高處往下看，可以看到同事們在辦公。我才坐下來，沒想到這個馬桶就開始前後左右這樣子轉，不停地搖。
我心想：「天啊！太糗了吧！」我用手想要遮住臉。不知道為什麼，我手上多了一塊香皂。因為手上有香皂，就不好遮臉。
後來上完廁所的時候，那個香皂掉到地上。我起身想要去撿香皂，但它就是滑不溜丟的，還溜到門口外面，我還要去撿。然後一直滑，一直掉，一直撿不起來。實在太糗了！
我記得在我辦公座位旁邊，是一個印度籍的女生。她穿著西裝套裝，然後跟著我們的小團隊，跟新加坡秘書視訊開會。總之，我對她印象深刻。
這個夢似乎反映了挫折、堅持、意想不到的障礙，以及在複雜的社會環境中——尤其是在工作中與人互動的主題。以下是一些主要元素的詳細介紹：
1. 巴士及候車
錯過公車的象徵意義：當你和其他人靠近公車時，卻反覆看到公車開走，可能代表著被忽視或錯過機會的感覺。你可能會覺得自己努力實現的目標遙不可及，尤其是當你感覺到周圍的其他人「接近」實現他們的目標時。
堅持：儘管遇到這些挫折，你最終還是上了正確的巴士，這表明你有韌性和克服障礙堅持下去的意願。這表明你有最終得到你所需要的東西的潛在決心。
2. 暴風雨天氣
天氣作為情緒氛圍：暴風雨、颱風般的大雨，可能意味著強烈的情緒或壓倒性的情況。這可能與工作壓力，或因持續挑戰而「疲憊不堪」的感覺有關。
克服惡劣天候狀況：冒著傾盆大雨到達辦公室，顯示出你在面對困難條件時的適應能力和力量。
3. 職場紀事與 "綠茶婊" 助理
新助理：看似樂於助人但並不完全真誠的助理的性格，可能反映出潛在的社會動態或工作場所的不信任。你可能正在處理與看似不真誠的人的關係，尤其是如果你的任務是帶領或指導他們，儘管你感覺他們可能沒有最好的意圖。
慷慨與界線間的平衡：邊吃法國麵包邊向助理解釋事情，可能象徵著分享知識和維持界線之間的平衡。這部分可能會顯示你想要提供幫助的意願，與保護自己的知識或技能的需要之間的衝突。
4. 獎勵和延遲滿足
歐洲之旅和簽證問題：有資格參加公司獎勵旅行，但拿的是一般簽證，而其他人則拿到快速通關簽證，這可能象徵著不平等或官僚主義的感覺，干擾了應得的獎勵。它可能表明即使你已經做對了所有事情，你也會受到外部因素或緩慢流程的阻礙。
5. 廁所和隱私問題
半公開的廁所：不舒服的半公開廁所周圍有半牆，暗示著脆弱性，尤其是在同事面前。這可能反映出你對在工作中以某種方式暴露的焦慮，因為其他人可以看到你的掙扎或弱點。
肥皂滑落：肥皂反覆從你的手中滑落，可能象徵著在試圖「清理」情況，或保持對難以掌控或難以捉摸的事物的控制時，反覆出現的挫敗感。
6. 印度同事和團隊合作
同事的強烈印象：穿著西裝套裝的印度女性，可能代表著在你的工作環境中脫穎而出的人，也許是一個可靠或有趣的團隊成員。這也可能象徵著你職業生涯中新的、多樣化的視角，或渴望與那些為團隊帶來獨特品質的人建立聯繫。
整體解讀
這個夢境暗示著一個工作環境，其中有複雜的社交互動，一些令人沮喪的障礙，以及考驗你的韌性和適應能力的情況。人們有一種在工作場所爭取認可或公平待遇的感覺，以及平衡協作與維護個人界限的願望。它既反映了你應對不可預測挑戰的能力，也反映了你在專業環境中獲得更多穩定性和支援的需求。
Ending 1: The Bus of Support
As you struggle with the bar of soap slipping out of reach, a colleague enters the restroom and hands you a towel, saying, “We’ve all had that experience here.” You laugh together, the tension easing as you feel seen and supported. Afterward, you return to your desk to find an email from the Singapore secretary, letting you know that your express visa has been approved after all. The final part of the dream is a quiet scene of the office—calm after the storm—with colleagues working harmoniously around you.
Theme: Supportive environment, overcoming frustrations through community.
Ending 2: The Missing Bus Driver
You finally manage to grab the soap and head back to your desk, but you notice something strange: the new assistant has vanished, along with several colleagues. Suddenly, the bus driver from earlier walks into the office, handing you a slip of paper that reads, “Your journey is about to begin.” Confused but intrigued, you take the slip, and the dream ends as you step out of the office and onto a bus waiting outside, which takes you somewhere unknown.
Theme: New beginnings, mystery, and adventure beyond work boundaries.
Ending 3: A Storm-Calmed Landscape
Back at your desk, the rainstorm outside has turned into a soft, gentle drizzle, and sunlight starts streaming in through the windows. You look around and realize the “green tea” assistant has left, and a friendly, supportive colleague has taken her place. The office feels more relaxed, and you receive a message that all visa issues are resolved. You now feel ready and excited for the 22-country tour, with calm replacing your earlier frustrations.
Theme: Resolution, peace, and support as storms clear.
Ending 4: The Soap Message
As you struggle with the soap, it finally stays still, and you notice a small, hidden message on it: “Trust the journey.” After that, everything falls into place: the semi-private restroom becomes a private one, the green tea assistant turns out to be genuinely kind, and you’re informed of a promotion that includes all-expense-paid training in Europe. You wake up with a sense of encouragement and readiness to take on new challenges.
Theme: Self-trust, transformation, and unexpected rewards.
Ending 5: A Meeting of Minds
After the chaotic restroom experience, you return to the office to find your team, including the new assistant and the Indian colleague, in a meeting room discussing a project for the European trip. Everyone is contributing ideas openly, and the assistant surprises you with her sharp insights. By the end of the meeting, you feel a stronger sense of camaraderie and purpose. As you step out, the storm has cleared, and you notice a beautiful rainbow outside the office window.
Theme: Team cohesion, unexpected collaboration, and newfound optimism.
Ending 6: A Journey Within
Back at your desk, as you stare at the soap that slipped away, you realize it’s now crystal clear—almost like glass. Through it, you see images of yourself traveling across European landscapes, confidently handling each situation. It dawns on you that each frustrating event has prepared you for this adventure. You wake up feeling ready to take on anything, with the clarity and wisdom gained from each small trial.
Theme: Self-discovery, growth, and inner strength for future challenges.
Each ending shifts the dream’s focus toward different emotional resolutions or new beginnings, symbolizing variations in how you might feel about handling current challenges or opening yourself to new experiences.
This dream seems to reflect themes of frustration, persistence, unexpected obstacles, and interactions with people in complex social environments—particularly at work. Here’s a closer look at some of the main elements:
1. The Buses and Waiting
Symbolism of Missing Buses: The repeated experience of watching buses drive away just as you and others approach could represent feelings of being overlooked or missed opportunities. You may feel like things you’ve worked toward are just out of reach, especially if you feel others are "close" to achieving their goals around you.
Persistence: Despite these setbacks, you ultimately find the right bus, indicating resilience and the will to persist despite obstacles. This suggests an underlying determination to eventually get what you need.
2. The Stormy Weather
Weather as Emotional Climate: Stormy, typhoon-like rain could signify intense emotions or an overwhelming situation. This might relate to stress at work or feelings of being "weathered down" by ongoing challenges.
Navigating Through: Moving through the downpour to get to the office shows your adaptability and strength in facing difficult conditions.
3. Workplace Encounters and the Green Tea Girl
New Assistant: The character of the assistant who appears to be helpful but isn’t entirely genuine could reflect underlying social dynamics or mistrust in the workplace. You may be handling relationships with people who seem insincere, especially if you’ve been tasked to guide or mentor them despite sensing they may not have the best intentions.
Balancing Generosity and Boundaries: Eating the baguette while explaining things to the assistant may symbolize the balance between sharing knowledge and maintaining boundaries. This part might show a conflict between your desire to be helpful and a need to protect your own knowledge or skills.
4. Rewards and Delayed Gratification
The European Tour and Visa Issues: Being eligible for a company reward trip but receiving a regular visa while others get expedited ones may symbolize feelings of inequality or bureaucracy interfering with well-earned rewards. It could point to a sense that you are held back by external factors or slow processes, even when you’ve done everything right.
5. Restroom and Privacy Issues
Semi-Private Restroom: The uncomfortable, semi-private restroom with half-walls around it suggests vulnerability, especially in front of colleagues. It might reflect anxiety about being exposed in some way at work, where others can see your struggles or moments of weakness.
Soap Slipping Away: The bar of soap slipping repeatedly out of your grasp can symbolize a recurring frustration with trying to "clean up" a situation or maintain control over something slippery or elusive.
6. The Indian Colleague and Teamwork
Strong Impression of the Colleague: The Indian woman in business attire could represent someone who stands out in your work setting, perhaps as a dependable or intriguing team member. This may also symbolize a new, diverse perspective in your professional life or a desire to connect with people who bring unique qualities to the team.
Overall Interpretation
This dream suggests a work environment with complex social interactions, some frustrating obstacles, and situations where your resilience and adaptability are tested. There’s a sense of striving for recognition or fair treatment in the workplace, along with a desire to balance collaboration with maintaining personal boundaries. It reflects both your ability to handle unpredictable challenges and a need for more stability and support in a professional setting.
